Hello! It's been a while (life update is included in this episode). In this episode, I discuss how to stay recovered from Disordered Eating. It's so easy to remain in "quasirecovery", but trust me, that isn't serving your body or your mind.

I talk about knowing triggers, raising awareness and having a team to support you. I have so much more to say on this topic so I will most likely post more in the future going deeper into this topic.

Hi, I've missed you all! This episode is a shorty saying hello and telling you what I've been up to. I'm letting you know what's to come and also talking a little bit about my thoughts around being recovered from disordered eating compared to actively having an eating disorder.

In this episode, my friend Patrick and I continue our conversation but this time our focus is art. We discuss the questions people ask artists, what flow state is, how to achieve it and more. We realize that being an artist is being an enigma. Part 1 is our conversation around food and our relationship with it, I highly recommend listening to that first.

In this episode my friend Patrick Melroy of Miscellaneous Workshop joins me to talk about how culture, poverty and growing up in the 80s affected his relationship to food. We also talk about what it's like to be the father of a little girl and the choices we make for our own well being and self care.

In part 2 we will be talking about art, flow state and more!

In this episode I discuss how I'm doing now post Eating Disorder Recovery. I talk about the tools I use, my continued struggles and who I still go to for support. Eating disorders are so complex and a mental illness, so it's crucial to be honest with myself as I continue forward. After having an eating disorder for 27 years, 3 years post recovery is not a long time.

In this episode I share childhood trauma that really started my Eating Disorder and then how different situations fed it as I grew. It sadly, all began with my mom and the passing of my dad. It all began with being punished for food and then thinking I couldn't trust food or my body.

In this episode I share the birth story of This Is Hard To Say. It all began with my life long battle with disordered eating ending with me on my death bed in the hospital.

This podcast and project is not for the faint of heart as I cover heavy stories and topics.

Join me as I navigate the vulnerabilities of what it means to share.
